Enrico Colantoni Talks Emotional Side of Flashpoint

CBS' hit series Flashpoint (Fridays at 9 pm/ET), which follows the lives of elite cops within the Strategic Response Unit, has returned for its second season after debuting with strong Friday-night ratings. Enrico Colantoni, who plays the SRU's Sgt. Gregory Parker, tells us what distinguishes his series, teases upcoming storylines and reveals what goes on when the cameras aren't rolling. Plus, Veronica Mars' dad dishes about the upcoming movie. TVGuide.com: How does Flashpoint differ from other law enforcement shows?Enrico Colantoni: There's a heightened adrenal rush and sentimental experience that has little to do with cops and robbers. It has more to do with watching our characters struggle with a particular situation and how that affects them directly. I find myself quite moved by the human aspect in our scripts that show what these guys are going through and how much they care. Every week we deal with people having a bad day and it's hard not to feel for them. TVGuide.com: You guys tackle some extreme storylines. What situations can we expect in upcoming episodes?Colantoni: Friday's episode is about ...

Top Chef's Radhika Talks "Restaurant Wars" Loss

Radhika Naren Desai made the mistake of becoming her team's leader during Wednesday's "Restaurant Wars" challenge on Top Chef; trying to "make people happy" may have been what landed her on the chopping block. Naren Desai, an executive chef from Chicago, tells TVGuide.com why she decided to take on the front-of-house duty, what was behind her defeated appearance at the Judges' Table and why she was so good at "Quickfires." TVGuide.com: Why did you let Jeff stay in the kitchen if you initially wanted him on front-of-the-house?Radhika: He was just a little reluctant and really wanted to be in the kitchen. I just wanted to make people happy and didn't want to force him to do anything he didn't want to do, which, in hindsight, I should have. I had very little experience with front-of-house work but thought that because it was my concept, I'd be able to explain it and pull it off. It definitely wasn't easy and really was exhausting. I did the best I could under the circumstances. TVGuide.com: What was going through your head during Judges' Table?Radhika: I was just really exhausted. ...

VIDEO: Bad Girls Talk Catfights and Kayla's Early Exit

After getting kicked out of what seems to be every bar in L.A., calling the housemates of this season of Bad Girls Club "bad" may be a bit of an understatement. After Kayla's sudden departure, Sarah, Tiffany and Amber stopped by the TVGuide.com studios to explain just how "tired" they were of Kayla's antics. Her true tipping point, they say, wasn't her catfight with Amber —  as the editing led us to believe — but rather the dress-ripping debacle. Hear what really went down in the video below!

Did Top Chef's Ariane Deserve to Go?

She started out at the bottom, but Top Chef's Ariane Duarte quickly rose to the top, impressing the judges week after week. Unfortunately for this cheftestant, string became the enemy and ultimately the reason for her elimination. The New Jersey restaurant owner explains how the cliquiness in her team was a huge roadblock and shares who she thought should have gone home after the farm challenge. TVGuide.com: Why did you end up working on the lamb dish if you weren't familiar with tying roasts?Ariane Duarte: I've cooked lots of lamb, but I don't tie. I've done a whole leg of lamb, whole baby lamb — my grandmother's from Italy so that's what we eat every Easter! Hosea and Leah were supposed to help me. When we decided, I said, "Alright guys, that's what I'll do, but this is what I need from you." It was something they knew and we discussed. And there never was an issue. I think we all thought everything was great, tasted great and looked great. But you get to the table and ...

VIDEO: Mickey Rourke Scores Awesome Win (And Outfit)

The Wrestler star Mickey Rourke made quite an entrance with his sweet, black velvet jacket, sequined scarf and porn 'stache during Sunday night's Golden Globe Awards. But his exit was much more buzz-worthy considering he left with a Globe in hand for the Best Actor. Rourke explains how despite the win, he doesn't know if he'll ever feel like he's back on top since he was "out of the game for so long." And believe it or not, he was just thrilled that Bruce Springsteen won for his song for "The Wrestler" from the film of the same name. Watch the video after the jump.

VIDEO: Ann Coulter Gets Feisty On The View

Über conservative Ann Coulter has been out and about (shamelessly) plugging her new book, Guilty: Liberal Victims, but the ladies of The View weren't afraid to talk over her incessant interruptions. As soon as Whoopi jumped right in citing Coulter's whole shtick as "an act," all hell broke loose. But the real kicker comes around the 6:40 mark when Barbara asks if she may read an excerpt from her book and Coulter replies saying, "Yes, and read it like you're reading [Hitler's] Mein Kampf." It's as though you can actually see the tiny daggers shooting out of Babs' eyes. Is it just us, or does Coulter make Elizabeth look like Michael Moore? Watch the video after the jump!
